We strive to deliver nothing but the best for our partners, ensuring every build functions properly and efficiently, is delivered on-time and at a competitive cost. On top of this, Automation Solutions can handle the integration of their panels/machines into your operation for a seamless transition into a cutting-edge pipeline.

Directly From The Source
We are also proud to be a full line stocking distributor for the components that we trust to use in the assemblies that bear our name and reputation. We are more than an integrator, and more than a distributor; we offer a value-added process.
Bringing the perspectives of integrator and distributor together means that we are not just selling components from a sales sheet, but we're offering the components that we use day-in and day-out to satisfy the needs of our long-term OEM and end user customers. We know the strengths and limitations of each of these components and are pleased to offer that experience to our distribution customers.

OEM Advantage
Starting Here
We also understand budgets, profitability and schedules. We meet these goals for you by maximizing the functionality of your control systems and by taking the ongoing burden of in-house controls off your budget. Whether it's consulting on a design, supplying complete control panels, or assuming full responsibility for the controls from start to finish - together we can make a real improvement to your profitability.
We Understand You
Automation Solutions has streamlined the way OEMs design, build, and support their products. We understand your dream of creating a better system - it's why you started building machines in the first place. We contribute our extensive experience designing, building, programming, and in many cases providing installation and start up services.
Manufacturing
Built To Last
Whether you need a one-off build, or a thousand units a year, we have you covered. We work to deliver whatever is needed, with no sacrifices to the quality of the product.
Quality + Quantity
Each build is designed to be easily maintainable over time, as well as sturdy and high-performing. Our panels and machines will last for years and years to come.
Integration
Only Settle For The Best
Large and small manufacturers have allowed us to become integral members of their production team, bringing our extensive experience in industrial controls into their process. Our dedication and understanding of our clients results in the leveraging of efficient production and high quality output.
Team Players
We are improving the way our customers design, build, manufacture and support their products. Whether it's consulting on a design, supplying control panels or assuming full responsibility for the electrical controls from the design to installation and start-up, Automation Solutions is making real improvement in our customers’ profitability and the reliability of their operations.
Upgrading
Sometimes, even new machinery or control systems have their quirks, especially if you have a custom workflow with outsourced panels and components. We can equip your tools with state-of-the-art electronically driven components and controls, such as high-accuracy servos and touch screen display controls. Making your unique workflow efficient and intuitive is what we do best.
Better Than New
Re-Innovation
Old machinery shows. Sometimes in the wear and tear, and sometimes in the outdated or inefficient way it functions. This can often affect the final products that the machine produces, while overcomplicating the way it operates. At Automation Solutions, we can bring your old tools into the modern day by replacing old mechanical parts and outfitting them with cutting-edge technological improvements, as well as create custom control interfaces to improve and accelerate the operation experience.
Field Support
Sharp Management
Because we have been through the design/implement cycle so many times, we've collected first hand knowledge about what it takes to manage a successful project from start to finish. Our project managers know the importance of timelines and budgets. We know how to keep track of all the vendors to ensure the product will be completed on time. We know the warning signs that might jeopardize a timeline or blow a budget - we will let you know before those things become critical to the success of your project.
No Client Left Behind
What happens when lights start glowing red or the line stops? We are available for support. Our goal is your success by providing as much or as little service as your needs dictate. We can even be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to service your panels.
Design
Specialized Designs
Custom Machinery
Perhaps you’ve come up with your own machine idea! Instead of seeking separate designers, suppliers and manufacturers, Automation Solutions takes care of the whole process under one roof. Any design, even if it’s just scribbles on paper, can be made into a reality.
Our intelligent team thinks outside the box in order to tackle any problem and strive to exceed the expectations of the client. We pride ourselves on high stability and performance, all within an affordable budget.
